~ Happy New Year & Happiness Jar ~

I cannot begin to tell you how much I want 2014 to begin! I believe that this year, 2013, has been the worst that I can remember. So much loss....so many negative things. I am looking forward to a new beginning!Do you make resolutions? I don't ~ too much pressure. I like to set intentions for what I'd like to bring into my life...peace, fun, new friends, new experiences and volunteer opportunities. I want to focus on the good things!I'm going to do the "Happiness Jar" to record happy moments, good things from each day, etc. Wanna join me?

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year and I hope that you are showered with blessings throughout the year!

It's been a tough 3-4 years for me having to take care of parents and losing them both within 6 months of each other. This year was recovery but involved dealing with my grief of past pain, seeing a therapist weekly (literally every week!) and a psychiatrist monthly. (Read through my year and you'll see why I'm looking forward to a new beginning. Yes, I am believing for a better year! Hope yours is too!

I am looking forward to this new year also.I do not make resolutions and haven't for years..I say "new beginnings", as I can't take the pressure of living up to the resolutions either.Praying that you and your family have a year of healing and new bits of happiness sprinkled all around.Love the Happiness Jar idea and just may join in. xo

Yes, adios to 2013, but we still have to go through so many "firsts", my friend. The happiness jar sounds like a wonderful start for a better 2014. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy New Year blessings to you. xo

Love your idea! I hope your year will be better this year, that you will know peace and joy and strength for the times when it's needed. May you feel God's love surrounding you until your Happiness jar overflows!Hugs,Cecilia

"Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted ~ a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul." ~ Harold KushnerYou need Javascript enabled to view these blessings.
